Akinlosotu made the appeal in a statement on Tuesday while reacting to the controversy involving Seyi Tinubu, social commentator VeryDarkMan (born Martins Otse), and content creator King Mitchy (Mitchel Mukoro).
The dispute began after VeryDarkMan alleged that Seyi Tinubu and King Mitchy threatened his life over comments he made concerning a N100 million donation. Seyi Tinubu, however, dismissed the allegations in a detailed statement over the weekend.
The situation escalated further following a separate report alleging that King Mitchy attempted to take her own life, adding another layer of tension to the unfolding public spat.
Weighing in on the matter, Akinlosotu described the involvement of Seyi Tinubu in the dispute as unnecessary, stating that it was needless for VeryDarkMan to drag the president’s son into the controversy.
She also criticised King Mitchy over the alleged suicide attempt, stressing the need for responsibility and caution in the handling of sensitive issues in the public domain.
“I call on the Nigeria Communication Commission, the Nigerian Broadcasting Commission and other regulatory agencies to start paying closer and more serious attention to content being generated and churned out on a daily basis by creators across the federation through media,” she said.
“There must be strong sanctions, and some persons must be made scapegoats as a way of deterrence.”
Akinlosotu argued that while social media has empowered citizens and amplified voices, the absence of stricter oversight risks fostering misinformation, reputational damage, and threats to personal safety.
Her comments add to the growing debate over the balance between free expression and regulatory control in Nigeria’s rapidly expanding digital media landscape.
